Caution Statements Compact Soft Starter
1 Caution Statements
Caution Statements cannot cover every potential cause of equipment damage but can
highlight common causes of damage. It is the installer's responsibility to read and
understand all instructions in this manual prior to installing, operating or maintaining the
equipment, to follow good electrical practice including applying appropriate personal
protective equipment and to seek advice before operating this equipment in a manner other
than as described in this manual.
• Isolate the soft starter completely from the power supply before attempting any work
on the soft starter or motor.
• Cables to the control inputs must be segregated from mains voltage and motor
cabling.
• Some electronic contactor coils are not suitable for direct switching with PCB mount
relays. Consult the contactor manufacturer/supplier to confirm suitability.
• Do not apply incorrect voltages to the control input terminals.
CAUTION
Power factor correction capacitors must be connected to the input side of the soft
starter. Connecting power factor correction capacitors to the output side will
damage the soft starter.
SHORT CIRCUIT
The soft starter is not short circuit proof. After severe overload or short circuit, the
operation of the soft starter should be fully tested by an authorised service agent.

3.4 Outputs
Main Contactor Output
The Main Contactor output (terminals 13, 14) closes as soon as the soft starter receives a
start command and remains closed while the soft starter is controlling the motor (until the
motor starts a coast to stop, or until the end of a soft stop). The Main Contactor output will
also open if the soft starter trips.
The Main Contactor output can be used to directly control a main contactor coil.
Programmable Output
The programmable output relay (terminals 23, 24) can be used to signal either trip or run
status. This relay is normally open.
Trip:
The relay closes when the soft starter trips. The relay can be used to operate the shunt-trip
mechanism of an upstream circuit breaker (in order to isolate the motor branch circuit), or to
signal the trip to an automation system or externally. The relay will open when the trip is
reset.
Run:
The relay operates when the soft start is complete, the bypass relays are closed and full
voltage is being applied to the motor. The relay can be used to operate a contactor for
power factor correction capacitors, or to signal soft starter run status to an automation
system.

5.3 Protections
The soft starter includes the following types of protection for the motor and starter:
Excess Start Time Protection
The soft starter will trip on excess start time if the motor does not successfully start within
the time selected in the Excess Start Time setting. This may indicate that the load has
stalled.
If the soft starter frequently trips on excess start time:
• check that the Current Limit setting is high enough for the application
• check that the Excess Start Time setting is long enough for the application
• check that the load has not stalled or increased since the soft starter was installed

5.4 Reset
Trips can be cleared by pressing the Reset button on the soft starter, sending a Reset
command from the serial communications network, or by switching the control inputs.
To clear a trip via the control inputs, the soft starter requires a closed to open transition on
the stop input (02).
• In three-wire control, use the external stop button to momentarily open the stop
input (open A1-02).
• In two-wire control, if the soft starter tripped with a start signal present, remove the
start signal (open A1 to 01, 02).
• In two-wire control, if the soft starter tripped with no start signal present (eg soft
starter motor thermistor trip), apply then remove the start signal (close then reopen
A1 to 01, 02).
The Reset button is located on the front of the unit, above the adjustment switches.
The soft starter will trip again immediately if the cause of the trip still exists.

6.1 Finger Guard Kit
Finger guards may be specified for personnel safety. Finger guards fit over the soft starter
terminals to prevent accidental contact with live terminals. Finger guards provide IP20
protection when used with cable of diameter 22 mm or greater.
6.4 PC Software
The software allows comprehensive management of soft starters. It provides the following
functionality:
• Operation of soft starter networks containing up to 254 individual soft starters
• Operational control (Start, Stop, Reset, Quick stop)
• Starter status monitoring (Ready, Starting, Running, Stopping, Tripped)
• Performance monitoring (Motor current, Motor temperature)
To use the software with the soft starter, the soft starter must be fitted with a USB Module,
Modbus Module or a Remote Operator.
